story

Following a cataclysmic war, the country of Dimapi was struggling to get back on its feet. The great amount of casualties and lack of morale made it almost impossible to rebuild infrastructure and pay reparations.

Monica Tarongoy, the surviving descendant of the powerful Tarongoy Dynasty, took it upon herself to solve the dwindling population issue and, with her chief scientist, used a new technology to mass produce genetically modified children, or "GenMods". Each child was designed to specific skills, different emotional capacities, and predestined to have a certain job in the workforce.

Quickly the population rose and economy flourished, and the once destroyed country became a sprawling urban paradise. Monica's system, although successful, was met with ethical criticism and thus Dimapi isolated itself from the rest of the world. In Dimapi's isolation, Monica worked hard to raise the quality of life for her people and now the lifespan of Dimapine citizens is the longest in the world.

Internally however, many GenMods became dissatisfied with their destinies and began revolting against the Queen.

Nathless is one of them.

This is my first jam game!

Visuals, music, and character sounds were all done by me.

This game's story is part of a bigger story which I will be telling in one of my later games, called "Crux".

The game's premise was created back in late 2010 and is inspired by Cyberpunk media, stemming from Aeon Flux, Brave New World, and The Matrix, with character design inspiration from the song Miracle is Dead by Sweet Revenge.
